What can I do to help my indoor air quality during allergy season?

Posted April 27, 2018

There are many great things that come with spring, including warmer temps and the ability to spend additional time outside. But one factor that can throw a wrench into enjoying the season is the presence of allergens. From runny noses to itchy eyes, seasonal allergies can be a nuisance to any of your family members. And when you wake up with these symptoms instead of feeling like you’ve had a restful night’s sleep, you’re going to want identify a solution.

And while we typically think of the outdoors when it comes to allergy season, allergens can exist within your house. Many homeowners have become increasingly interested in their indoor air quality and the impact on the home’s occupants. However, while it’s challenging to eliminate those allergens from the outdoors, there are steps you can take to reduce these contaminants in your home.

The AAFA also offers a few steps to help you control allergens in your home.

Put plastic covers over all mattresses and pillows.

Wash your bedding weekly.

Vacuum once or twice during the week.

Cover your garbage cans.

Keep pets out of the bedroom.

Close the windows and doors to keep pollen from entering the home.

Keeping your home clean and lowering the opportunity for dust, pollen and other contaminants to enter the home will go a long way to improving your home comfort. Create a plan so that you can prepare your home and get back to enjoying the warmer temperatures.

Don’t make this allergy season harder than it needs to be.
